NBA Playoffs 2019-2020

Man, Denver getting crushed right now

Yeah they came out putrid, 9-25 shooting with 9 turnovers already.  That isn't going to beat anyone in the playoffs.

Feel like they need another a-level guy alongside Jokic, and Murray isn't that. Best hope for them is MPJ, but he's not ready

Jokic himself, even in looking a little more fit, seems a little floppy and unconstent in the bubble. And against a high energy, high and athletic Gobert, it isn't enough.
All the way, the best playoff match of Rudy tonight.

Raptors gonna sweep Brooklyn. Wish we were the #2 seed and drew BKN instead.

Fred VanVleet is gonna get a near max contract if he continues this incredible play

Good to imagine our future in giving 55 millions for Tatum and Brown in 2022, when Toronto will give around 60 M for Siakam and Van Vleet... Not sure Van Vleet is worth near the ma, even if he is a very good player who perform well.

Yeah, Van Vleet is a 26 year-old small guard who has been hurt a bit in his short career, and isn't particularly efficient. Not sure I'd want to max him

Jokic looks as engaged as Embiid

Wow, Utah trashing Denver. 102-66.

That makes no sense to me.

Ok my NEW nickname for Nikola Jokic is ST. Nick....

For Rudert Gobert (who is NOT known to be an offensive juggernaut) to have 24+ points like this Nikola must've been in a GIVING MOOD.........................

Tighten up that D, ST. Nick.

Amazing. I thought Denver would be a good matchup for Utah, but this takes the cake.

The Nuggets have to be careful with their next moves. They started with a very deep talented roster.

Apart from Jokic and the veterans Barton, Grant, Millsap and Plumlee, they had Murray, Morris, Harris, Beasley, Hernangomez, Porter Jr and Bol. A few of them have been traded, others have plateaued and a few have emerged.

They might have peaked and won't make that next step to becoming a contender without a big trade.

We talked a lot about Jazz missing Bogdanovic lacking outside shooting behind Ingles and Ingles and Mitchell. But maybe we forgot they have not only a defense but grit with Gobert, talent with Mitchell and exprience with Conely who looks a little better.
Maybe also we forgot Denver miss really a part of there depth and scoring xfactor with Barton and Harris. Dozier, craig it's quiet week, Porter Jr still very unexperimented...
Finally, for two matches also Snyder outmatched Malone...

PS : sorry "Rudy Turiaf" didn't saw you posted the same post as me in a much better english...

Love Doncic taking a stand against the flopping there and giving Harrell some lip (though I generally love Harrell).

HAHAHAHAHA Dalas has the Clips on the ropes.

I originally predicted the Celtics in 6.

But now I think the C’s should, and will sweep the Sixers.

This was the game for the Sixers to win. Embiid had another big game. Harris stepped up. Tatum was off and also in foul trouble most of the first half. And they still couldn’t eek it out. I think now the Sixers (and probably Embiid + Brett Brown) are thinking more about the offseason and what’s to come

I wonder who'd be a good matchup for the Lakers between the Jazz and Clippers...need to make sure LeBron and co gets bounced and not let them sniff the Finals.

Either would be tough. Clippers are the toughest team, but the Jazz are incredibly balanced too. I actually think the Rockets (w/healthy Westbrook) can make things tough on the Lakers in the 2nd round

WOW Luka is tough. Guy got hurt and left the game with an ankle sprain, but he's back out there grinding it out. He might really feel it tomorrow though.

Also, "Playoff P" putting up another dud, but Kawhi and the Clippers are rolling tonight.

They need big guys who can defend Davis and just force LeBron to carry the team.

Not sure what Kawhi was thinking when he said he wanted Paul George in the Clippers. He should've asked for Jimmy Butler instead lol.

But I'm glad Kawhi went to the Clippers and not the Lakers.
